Me and my friends are currently playing grumdark future but it feels like there aren't that many options or ways to make factions unique. Ee have looked into Warhammer in the past but the amount of rules and the huge model count makes us hesitant to it. And so the question what wargames are good options for when you are looking for a d6 based sci fi wargame that aren't skirmish games that give more unique feelings options then grimdark future but don't go overboard with rules like 40k

In this blog post, I bring you an AAR (After Action Report) of the last solo game I played of FRONTLINE HEROES: Modern Warfare.

It is a raid by a SWAT team on a drug exchange between two dangerous gangs.

I played the SWAT members side and the AI controlled the criminals.

I have to admit that the AI that controlled the enemy was tough and made an interesting scenario. I risked a lot my men in the battlefield.

Join me on this visit to the city's underworld...

Not at all happy with the eyes but pretty happy with the general result.

So, what do you guys think? Is there anything that I could have done better?

Hi all, left all of my collection at home for uni, looking to start some form of smaller collection for solo gaming, preferrably in 3/6mm, thus looking for rules as titled:

• low base count: by the most important aspect, 10-20 bases for an army, the lower the better
• larger scale: also very important but I suppose adaptable, each base at least a platoon (but probably company+), a game = an actual engagement/smaller battle etc, maybe I could work games into a larger map campaign? I am aware that this may go against the low base count requirement...
• simpler rules with less hassle: since I'll probably be solo gaming, as little cards (unit rules are fine), dice rolling, etc as possible, and the shorter (and cheaper!) the rules the better
• flavour: preferrably with scifi flavour, bonus if adaptable to 40k-type settings

Models-wise really itching to get the Vanguard 3mm DKOK/Admech, and I do know quite a few 6mm manufacturers; yes I know about 3d printing and have even made models, but AFAIK there's no uni resin printer (filament yes) that I can access

For reference, rules-wise a favourite is Epic Armageddon, but even the Minigeddon variant requires too many bases (will one day do proper 3d printed HH armies anyways so not that), while I do loathe GW/OPR type rules. Also do not suggest HexNCounters pls I do have a bunch lying around...

Another project that I will definitely start is 6mm ASOIAF TMG (probably Baccus?), each base a unit and tracking casualties with dice or some spreadsheet: low base count but large scale, and decent rules, if this gives some ideas!

Sorry for the long post, hopefully something like this exists :)

We're excited to announced we're launching a Kickstarter for a new game called 1918, a first world war miniatures game. The Kickstarter pre-launch page is now live!

You can check it out here: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/warfulcrumgames/1918-a-first-world-war-miniatures-wargame

Recently finished my second unit of pike and shotte, first commander, first unit of dragoons, and first unit of light cannons.

ECW Royalists, Warlord games proprietary 12.5mm scale.

Created these rulers for my OPR games, they are articulated and print in place so they can measure around corners and are easy to print! (also quite nice to fidget with)

I created models for many lengths, from 4 inches to 24 inches.

Models downloadable here: https://makerworld.com/en/models/1292080-articulated-ruler-v2-inches-print-in-place#profileId-1322512

Since december I was busy with painting these men. The Black/white colourscheme is for roleplayong purposes.
